Re: That Time Problem??
I read that page. And I understand that time dilation happens by either gravitation or acceleration. But the OP asks how it happens mechanically, and I can't answer. I imagine that both acceleration and gravitation act upon atoms in the same manner. Though I admit, the speed of light being observed equally in all inertial frames of reference kinda tweaks my noodle.
